Saturday proved to be a telling day in Mt. Pleasant, as the Central Michigan Chippewas hosted the Ball State Cardinals for a typically-underrated divisional match-up.
On a beautiful fall day in the newly-christened Kramer/Deromedi Field at Kelly/Shorts Stadium, both teams churned back-and-forth machinations of drives, with Ball State ultimately finding that one drive more to put the game away.
The result saw Ball State pull to 2-4 with a 2-1 MAC mark, launching them to second in the division, while CMU fell to 1-5, starting a daunting 0-2 in league play.
It was a revelatory 60 minutes of game clock, so let’s get straight into it.
